I must admit that I have ...Good, very good indeed.<br /><br />I must admit that I have always been a bit uncomfortable with the quoted Article. It was written to a Church and a time when the proper use of the sacraments was less than it should have been. Churchmen were not communicating and indeed had been driven from reception of the sacrament by the culture of the time. Instead we had processions with the blessed sacrament and the growth of benediction of the same which served as a substitute communion. The article points us to the right use of the sacrament but does not forbid what was being done. Can we not be glad of the wisdom of same?<br /><br />I much prefer churchmen making their communions although I wish that we did it with greater care and attention, but I regaining an appreciation for benediction and have always loved processions of the blessed sacrament.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.com
